As Seen From Space...




The Great Wall of China and the BP oil spill- the 2 man-made things that can be seen from space- WAY TO GO US!!!
(...it looks a little bit like a unicorn... do you see it???)

The oil is spreading, the 'cloud' can be seen from space, over a dozen species of wildlife will most likely perish from the face of the earth because of it.

Apart from job losses and economic impact and ecologic damage, there is a psychological impact. There is a societal ramification.

We simply cannot allow businesses to rule the world. They don't care about anything but profits.
People.
The Ocean.
Animals.
None of that means more than the almighty dollar to them.

How can we stand by and let companies run riot, free and un-checked, across out world?

BP shrugs its shoulders and tries to cap it, without damaging it, so they don't lose their investment.
It is their property, their mess, their responsibility... The provincial conventional, wisdom circulating is that since BP is the only company that 'employs' specialized oil spill experts (and the fact that THEY drilled the hole)... Well, they are going to have to be the ones to close it...

But this is a crisis of historical proportions.

The President is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF, theoretically, he could order a sub to target that hole and seal it.

It is simple.

I know we get mired in the complexity of this disaster.

But before we go about the hard-work of sorting it all out-
(how to clean it up, who was ultimately responsible, how to prevent it from happening again, and yes, even alternatives to fossil fuels)-

Let's stop the leak first.


TORPEDO THE HOLE!!!
